Privacy Policy

SCOPE:

This Privacy Notice (this "Notice") describes how Blueair inc. ("Blueair," "we," "us", or “our”) collect, use, share and otherwise process personal information in connection with our websites, applications, and other online platforms which link to or display this Notice or personal information we collect in person, by phone, via emails, or other offline methods (collectively, our “Platform”). This Notice is not, however, a contract and does not create any legal rights or obligations.

When we use the term “personal information” in this Notice, we mean information that identifies, relates to, describes, is reasonably capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked, directly or indirectly, to you. It does not include aggregated, deidentified or anonymized information that is maintained in a form that is not reasonably capable of being associated with or linked to you or a particular household, publicly available information from government records, or information about the employees and other representatives or third-party entities who we may interact with in a commercial context.

TYPES OF PERSONAL INFORMATION WE COLLECT, HOWE WE USE IT, HOW WE SHARE IT, AND SOURCE OF INFORMATION:

In addition to information contained in this Notice, we may disclose personal information for other purposes described to you in a separate notice presented at the point of collection. In the first column, we list the categories of personal information we have collected. In the second column we describe how each category of personal information may be used by us or our service provider or contractors on our behalf. In the third column, for each of the categories of personal information, we identify the categories of recipients to whom we have disclosed for a business purpose. In the fourth column, for each of the categories of personal information, we identify the categories of “third parties” to whom we have “sold” or “shared” for targeted or behavioral advertising. For purposes of this Notice, when we use the term “third party” we mean entities that are not service providers or contractors providing services on behalf of Blueair and that are not entities with whom you interact with directly. For purposes of this Notice, “targeted or cross-context behavioral advertising” means when we display advertisements to you based on information we obtain about you through nonaffiliated websites or online applications to predict your interests.

SOURCES OF INFORMATION:

We collect the types of personal information listed in the tables above in the following ways:

Directly From You. When you interact with us on our Platform (including one of our websites, using our mobile application, sending us an email, visiting us at an in-person promotional event, or calling our Customer Experience Center), or interacting with one of our social media pages or other third-party platform, or applying for a job with us, we may collect the personal information you share with us.
Automatically When You Interact with Our Platform, Our Emails or Advertisements. Subject to your device settings, Blueair will automatically collect certain personal information when you interact with our Platform on any device, when you click on sponsored links or third-party ads to visit our Platform, and we may also collect personal information about you over time and across different websites, apps and devices when you use our Platform, using tracking technologies such as cookies, pixels, Flash objects, APIs and mobile software development kits (SDKs) and we may use third party services to collect this personal information when you use our Platform.

We explain more about our use of cookies and other tracking technologies tin the section called “Tracking Technologies, Interest-Based Advertising and Third Party Tracking” below.

Our Affiliates. We may receive personal information from our Affiliates.
From Third Parties. We may receive personal information about you from other third-party sources. For example, this may include receiving personal information from: (i) our business partners, including marketing partners, medical professionals, third-party diagnostic/laboratory providers, analytics vendors, and companies that co-sponsor our promotions; (ii) online advertising networks and publishers. We may also receive profile information from online publishers, which includes items such as household status, income, educational information, etc. The information that we receive is dependent upon the online publisher; (iii) social media sites, including without limitation, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Pinterest, Snapchat, Tik Tok and Instagram. The information we receive from these social media sites is dependent upon the social media site’s policies and your settings on that site; (iv) third party sites, including those that allow you to integrate your third-party account with your Blueair account; (v) family, friends and others who provide your personal information to us because they think you may be interested in our products and services or they want to share a product or service with you; (vi) companies that provide personal information to supplement what we already know about you, including data analytics firms and data aggregators. Certain third parties might link your name or email address to other information they have collected. That might include past purchases made offline or online. It might also include online usage information; or (vii) publicly available sources, including social media sites and public databases.
By Combining Personal Information. For example, we may combine personal information that we collect offline with personal information we collect through our Platform, combine personal information we collect about you from the different devices you use to access our Platform, or combine personal information we get from third parties with personal information we already have about you.

Our Platform is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect or solicit any information from anyone under the age of 13 though our Platform. In the event that we learn that we have inadvertently collected personal information from a child under age 13, we will delete that information as quickly as possible.

TRACKING TECHNOLOGIES, INTERNET BASED ADVERTISING AND THIRD PARTY TRACKING:

Cookies & Other Tracking Technologies:

We automatically collect certain types of usage and device information when you visit our Platform, read our emails, or otherwise engage with us. We typically collect this information through use cookies (a small text file sent from a website and stored on your device), web beacons or pixels and similar tracking technologies, and we may utilize third party services to collect this information. For example, these tracking technologies may collect information about your device and its software, such as your IP address, browser type, device type, date and time stamp, unique device ID, and about the way you engage with our Platform, for example, the site from which you came and the site to which you are going when you leave our website, the pages you visit, how frequently you access our Platform, whether you open emails or click the links contained in emails, whether you access our Platform from multiple devices, the products you view and click on, and similar actions you take. You can learn more about how to control cookies in our “Your Privacy Choices” section below.

We use this information collected through tracking technologies to allow you to browse our Platform and use its features, to provide custom, personalized content and information, including targeted content and advertising, to measure the effectiveness of our advertising, to recognize you across multiple devices, to remember your preferences, to monitor aggregate usage metrics such as total number of visitors, traffic, usage, and demographic patterns of our visitors, to identify errors and resolve them, to analyze Platform performance, to improve our Platform, and otherwise enhance our Platform and your user experience.

Interest-Based Advertising:

We engage in interest-based advertising to deliver online advertising that may be more relevant to your interests. This means that we permit third party online advertising networks, social media companies, and other third party services to collect information about your use of our websites and Platform over time so that they may play or display ads on our Platform, on other websites, apps, or services you may use, and on other devices you may use. Typically, though not always, the information used for interest-based advertising is collected through cookies or similar tracking technologies. We may share a common account identifier (such as an email address or user ID) or hashed data with our third party advertising partners to help identify you across devices or serve you ads on social media sites you may use. We and our third party partners use this information to make the advertisements you see online more relevant to your interests, as well as to provide advertising-related services such as reporting, attribution, analytics, and market research.

To learn more about your choices regarding interest-based advertising, visit the “Your Privacy Choices” section below. We learn from groups of consumers sharing similar interests. We may place you in a group of consumers who show the same interests (sometimes these are called “look alike audiences”). We may infer these things about you based on your activity on certain webpages, links you click on our Platform and other websites you visit, mobile applications you use, or our brand emails you view and links you click in the emails, and based on other information we have collected, such as from retail partners and other third parties. We group together information to help us learn about general trends, habits or characteristics about a group of consumers who act similarly online or offline and use this information to send this group information we believe will be relevant product offers or information.

We link information to your cookie ID or device ID. This information may be supplemented with information such as products you buy offline or information you provide directly to us on our Platform. We generally do this in ways that will not directly personally identify you (they are “masked” by a number identifier instead of associated with information like your name), but if we personally identify you we will do so in accordance with applicable laws.

We may know you across your devices, such as computers, phones, tablets because we associate cookie and device IDs. We assume that the same person owns certain devices based on certain activities, such as connecting the devices to the same WiFi network.

We share a common account identifier (such as an email address or user ID) or hashed data with our third party advertising partners to help identify you across devices or serve you ads on social media you may use. We and our third party partners use this information to make the advertisements you see online more relevant to your interests, as well as to provide advertising-related services such as reporting, attribution, analytics, and market research.

Google Analytics and Advertising:

We use Google Analytics to better understand how our users interact with our Platform. Our ability to use and share information collected by Google Analytics about your visits to our sites is restricted by the Google Analytics Terms of Use (https://marketingplatform.google.com/about/analytics/terms/us/) and the Google Privacy Policy (https://policies.google.com/privacy). To understand how Google uses data when you use our partners' sites or apps, visit https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites. You may opt out of Google Analytics at any time by visiting https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout/.

We may also utilize certain forms of display advertising and other advanced features through Google Analytics, such as Remarketing with Google Analytics, Google Display Network Impression Reporting, the DoubleClick Campaign Manager Integration, and Google Analytics Demographics and Interest Reporting. These features enable us to use first-party cookies (such as the Google Analytics cookie) and third-party cookies (such as the Doubleclick advertising cookie) or other third party cookies together to inform, optimize, and display ads based on your past visits to the Service. You may control your advertising preferences or opt-out of certain Google advertising products by visiting the Google Ads Preferences Manager, currently available at https://google.com/ads/preferences or by vising NAI’s online resources at https://optout.networkadvertising.org/?c=1.

Pixels:

Pixels are small objects embedded into a web page but are not visible. They are also known as "tags,” “web bugs,” or "pixel gifs." We use pixels to deliver cookies to your computer, monitor our website activity, make logging into our sites easier, and for online marketing activities. We also include pixels in our email messages or newsletters to determine whether you open them and click on their links. This helps us understand whether you are an active user. It also helps us measure the effectiveness of our marketing efforts, and derive insights and analysis, that we will use to personalize the content of our communication and to guide our marketing decisions and strategy.

Our Do Not Track Policy:

Some browsers have “do not track” features that allow you to tell a website not to track you. These features are not all uniform. Where available, you may choose to enable an online tool that automatically communicates your universal opt-out preferences, such as the Global Privacy Control (“GPC”). You may need to use a specific browser or an extension that supports these tools and universal signals. When detected, we will process such a signal as a request to opt out of tracking PI and as a request to opt out of “sale” or “sharing” of your data as explained in the “Your Privacy Choices” section below. You can also opt-out of such tracking directly on our Platform by following the steps noted in the Interest-Based Advertising section above. If you have questions, please contact us via one of the methods listed in the “How to Contact Us” section at the end of this Notice.

CHOICES REGARDING YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION:

HOW TO EXERCISE CHOICE OF INTEREST-BASED ADVERTISING:

Advertising Industry Opt-Outs

To exercise choice with respect to interest-based advertising, you can use the opt-out mechanism provided by the Digital Advertising Alliance by visiting:
https://optout.aboutads.info/?c=2&lang=EN (for browsers) or https://youradchoices.com/appchoices (for apps).

You can also use the Network Advertising Initiative’s tool that allows consumers to opt out of certain interest-based advertising delivered by NAI members’ ad networks:
http://www.networkadvertising.org/choices/.

To opt-out of Unified ID 2.0 globally visit:
https://www.transparentadvertising.com/.

Even if you opt-out of certain kinds of interest-based ads, you may continue to receive other ads. And opting out of one or more NAI or DAA members only means that those selected members should no longer under the DAA / NAI rules deliver certain targeted ads to you. This will affect services provided by the applicable DAA / NAI members but does not mean you will no longer receive any targeted content and/or ads from non-participating parties. Also, if your browsers are configured to reject cookies when you visit the opt-out page, or you subsequently erase your cookies, use a different Device or web browser(s), or use a non-browser-based method of access, your DAA / NAI browser-based opt-out may not, or may no longer, be effective. Mobile device opt-outs will not affect browser-based Interest-based ads even on the same device, and you must opt-out separately for each device. We are not responsible for the effectiveness of, or compliance with, any third party opt-out options or programs or the accuracy of their statements regarding their programs.

You can also prevent or reduce getting interest-based ads on websites by declining cookies in your browser(s), or on mobile devices by declining the “access to data” requests that apps usually present when you install them or by adjusting the ad tracking settings on your device.

You will still see “contextual” ads even if you opt out of interest-based ads. Even if we stop sending you interest-based ads, you will still get ads from our brands on your computer or mobile devices. These ads, however, are based on the context of the sites you visit and are called contextual ads. Unlike interest-based ads which are based on pages you visit on your mobile phone or computer viewing activities over time and across unrelated services, contextual ads are ads shown to you based on the context of the specific site you are visiting. You should also know that we may still collect information from your computer or devices and use it for other purposes like evaluating how our websites work, for consumer research, or detecting fraud, pursuant to applicable laws.

How You Can Control Cookies

Your browser may give you the ability to control cookies or other tracking technologies, or to reject browser cookies. To control flash cookies, which we may use on certain websites from time to time, you can visit: https://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager07.html. Why? Because flash cookies cannot be controlled through your browser settings.

If you block cookies, certain features on our Platform may not work. Depending on your mobile device and operating system, you may not be able to delete or block all cookies and you may not be able to block non-cookie technologies (such as flash cookies) and these browser settings that block cookies may have no effect on such techniques. In addition, options you select relating to cookies and other tracking technologies are browser and device specific. You must exercise these choices on each browser and device you use.

When you opt out of interest-based advertising, an opt-out cookie is sent to your browser that indicates you no longer want to receive interest-based ads. Your opt-out cookie will be deleted if you decide to delete all cookies on your browser. You will need to opt out again on each browser when you clear or delete cookies if you do not want to receive interest-based advertising.
